The expense and trouble, however, of Par thcarlia get sl ate have hitherto rendered these advantages cora una.vailable. theof 't , quarries are in active operation ; and the quality Slate is equal in clos-ness ot grain and durability to any ne f , produced from the great Welsh quarries.

It may be convenient to give an idea of the size of this fine site of land, to say that it is more than four times the size of the Auction Mart, lately sold, and when covered will be among the largest and most conveniently ar ranged Offices in the City. This plot is Leasehold for 99 years, at a ground rent of £4,000 per annum. The price at which the City Offices Company (Limited) has agreed for the purchase of the whole of th before enume rated five blocks is £165,000, including all buildings thereon ; this price gives, after adding thereto the cost of purchasing the freehold f the whole of the leasehold portions, and de ducting the value of the new buildings thereon, an average price of only £9 per square foot, which, compared with the prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks, gives the following results, viz.:— Thu Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about 5,80 square foot, cost £1i5,25 , which gives an average of £2O per foot The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied by the Colonial Insurance Company, containing only 1,080 feet, sold to a well-known Banker for £3),000, subject to a ground-rent of £5OO per annum, for 61 years, which, allow ing as in former calculations for purchase of freehold, and deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per square foot. The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by e London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 6,0 feet, realised £lo,oa 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5 per annum, which, allow ng, tor purchase of freehold, and deducting value of new building, gives about £3O per square foot. It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing £.O, £3 , and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects and probable profits of those acquired by tnis Company, costing only £9 per foot, will be evident at first sight ; if they were re-sold at even the lewest of these three quotations, it would leave the City Offices Company (Limited) a very large profit on the cost. The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting such of these premises as may be suitable, and erecting new buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices suitable for Banks, large Companies. or Commercial and Vrofessional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon moderate rentals, a return of from sto 20 per cent. on the outlay may be fair y relied on. The Company will also from time to time acquire other properties, as the op ortunities present themselves, f r the purpose of re-sale or otherwise. By the issue of Debentu es or otherwise, the paid-up Share Capital will be keot at the lowest possible point. It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free from the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en terprises ; the model on which the business operations will be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in Old Broad-street. City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street, and County Chambers, Lombard-street, the success of welch is well known, the only difference being that whilst those properties are in the hands of a few capitalists, the proper ties acquired by this Company wal be distributed over a large body of Shareholders, which will thus put investors of mode rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of lame returns on City property, which the magnitude of the amounts required has hitherto made it impossible to aay but very wealthy men to undertake. In the a .lot nent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved for applicant who are Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), and the Credit Fonder (Limited) ; the remainder will be distributed among the general public. In the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full.

While Exchange Bank s an Credit Institu'ions have been established to onne t this country financially with almost every f-,reign market, and to g.ve fact Pies tor conveying to our stores every deseri tinn of merchandi c, it is remarkable that as soon as the operation of , mporVng is performed the monetary facilities are w thdrawn. The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer chant's capital unaided or by sales. 'I Inv, when tempo rani y there is an excess of any co nmodity imported, its price is undo y depr,ssed, and s ri , u losses are incurre . Ordinary bank era and discount houses dislike making ad vances i•pon merchandise, having no organisation for exa mining' the goods and correct y estimating their value. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Dwisi , n of labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow ledge, the Warrant Bank ng Company is formed. The bu ness of the Company will mainly consist in making dv nces upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of abs elute assignment, duly inspected and v lued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. These advan-es will be ma re in a ceptances by the Com p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re nresant mer handise readily convert ble, and b at the sree time secured by the whole ca ita of a pnweriul Company, the exact position of which w II be patent to al , there can be no doubt that the who'e Die ount Market wit I be available when it is desired by th s holder to turn the bill into c .sh. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an institution, while it will be of great service to mere' ants, an increase the stability of the entre class, will be an equal con venience to bankers and eis.viunt firms, furnishing them with a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company will be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in British and B ist Indian Government securities, a-d upon deposit at call, and it is proposed hat the capita! thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum o at least X200, , .00. Th , field which exists for such an undertaking will b' at once apparent from a glance at the lioard.ot Trade returns of foreign impor s fbr the past year. which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,00,000. If we estimate the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as equ .1 to three months' consumption, it would represent an amount of .£50,n00,n00. Advances may also be made when deemed advisable iv on locks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vertible. . re , sonable proportion will always be maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken a d the cal ed-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund. Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Sim. T is Direc ors will not rec ive any remuneration unlit the shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of 5 per cent, the Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits. No promotion money will be paid for originating this un dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the necessary disbursements Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered un ess a deposit of £1 per share has been wevicra ly p id to the bankers of the Company. In the event of no a lot ment being mad , the deposit will be returned without deduction, and shou d the number allotted be 1 as than the number applied for, the payment in excess will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.

PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, KOLDING, March 12. In default of great battles, the results of which speak for themselves, soldiers naturally make the most of small engagements, and it was amusing to observe the excitement the Austrians at Veile were in about the fight of the Bth, which was but a petty affair, although its features and the nature of the ground certainly gave it a peculiar interest. It had all the outline of a very serious and bloody engage ment, an outline which merely required filling up by larger bodies of troops and a more stubborn re sistance. The preparations made were for a long defence, such as might have lasted for days instead of hours; but information from Danish sources has confirmed me in the belief that they were not made with a view to that particular affair, but long previously, when the course the war might take was quite uncertain. With larger forces, and had they fought with hopes of victory instead of merely for the honour of their flag, the very advantageous positions which extend fcr some distance to the south of Veile would have been the scene of severe conflicts, the trifling cavalry skirmish mentioned in my last might have been converted into a Serious cambat, and the Austrians would certainly not have been allowed to establish themselves on the wind mill height commanding the town without much greater loss than the very small one they up to that point suffered. Even with a strong force, it may be doubted whether a serious defence or Lue town would have been attempted when once the enemy had got his guns upon the hill which so completely commands it, but the high wooded hills beyond it would surely not have been abandoned at the first threat of a flank attack. lam curious to see the Danish account of the affair. The Danes at Veile and here declare that the Ist and 11th Regiments, which fought at Oversee, had not been reinforced since then, and consequently could be reckoned only as equal to one ordinary regiment ; but there is reason to believe that each of their four battalions had been made up, either by draughts from other corps or in some other way, to 600 men, and the 7:h Regiment was probably stronger. The Viele and Kolding Danes, who are bitter against the Ger mans (and against the English, too, for not having come to their assistance) have got a story in which they obstinately persist, to the effect that when the heights north of the town had been abandoned and the retreat commenced, the Ist Copenhagen Infantry and the Danish Dragoons and Hussars waited for their i pursuers on the top of the hill, and when the latter ' came up the Copenhageners delivered a close volley and charged with the bayonet, and the cavalry made a charge in flank, cutting•up numbers of the Austrians. One person in Veile told me that he counted 130 dead Austrians. It is difficult to attach credit to these stories, and my own belief is that there was no fighting worth speaking of after the fortified position on the centre hill was abandoned and the Danes retreated northwards. The Danes in Schleswig and Jutland have repeatedly told me that the Austrians and Prussians return their losses as less than they really are, but there is not the slightest reason to be alleged for their doing so, and it is well known that nominal returns of killed, wounded, and missing are published regularly at Vienna and Berlin. Where the Austrians chiefly lost at Veile was among the last houses of the towr., when they came close under the fire from the heights. In this part of the affair Baron Lowenstern, a Holsteiner by birth, attached to the Staff of General Gablenz, is reported by his comrades to have particularly distinguished himself. When the infantry ad vanced to take the bridge and town, he dismounted from his horse and led them on, the large amount of red in his Austrian Hulan uniform rendering him a conspicuous mark for the enemy. When the town was cleared he took up a dead man's rifle and cart ridges and bore an active part in the combat until the Danes retreated. It was then that, as certain Veile and Kolding burgesses exultingly, but I be lieve fabulously, relate, the cavalry and the intrepid Copenhageners (under the same colonel, Muller, who commanded them at Oversee) "smeared," to use the Danish term, the pursuing Austrians. If it be a consolation to these poor people to invent triumphs for their troops, none can grudge it to them, for they unquestionably have a good deal to bear just now, especially in the form of heavy con tributions in kind imposed upon them by the invad ing army. By some of the most respectable bur gesses of this place I have been assured that, since the first entrance of the Austro-Prassian forces, the little town of Kolding has daily been mulcted to the extent of 2,000 Danish dollars (2s. 3d. sterling per dollar) in order to supply the rations exacted from them. This is very hard upon the people, even though they should ultimately receive compensation from their Government —as was the case, to a most liberal extent, I am informed, atter the last war in these provinces. The lodging of the troops, too, although only for short periods at a time, has weighed heavily upon the Jutland towns and villages they have passed through. The billeting tickets (all those, at least, which I have seen), issued by the authori ties of the town, bore upon them that the soldiers quartered must also be fed. They have a right to coffee and other comforts, and I believe the understanding is that they give their rations and are supplied with meals—a bad exchange for those . , who have to house them. In some of the poorer I d we llings in which they are quartered the hosts ' themselves live from hand to mouth, and, buying nothing, can, of course, give nothing, bat where there is anything the foreigners demand and obtain their share, and I have myself been present when they entered the kitchens of houses and asked for their food, which the people seemed to admit that they had a right to in virtue of the terms of their billeting paper. They are entitled to straw to sleep upon, to lights and fuel, and of this last article they are by no means economical, probably feelitig a good deal of warming necessary after all the cold they have gone through. Of the conduct of the men generally I must say that in no place that I have visited in Schleswig or Jutland have I heard any serious complaints. Here, in Bolding, I am told that, one night of the week just over, a great number of Prussian troops came in very late ; there appears to have been no regular distribution of billets; the men pat themselves up where they chose, some of them got drunk, and some shopkeepers complain of having been rob'eed. But even the bitterest Danes with whom I have spoken admit that, as a rule, the conduct of both the Austrian and the Prussian sol diery has been good, and that the exceptions have been very few, and not a single case has come to my knowledge of people having been beaten or otherwise personally ill-treated, as is so commonly the case when an army is in an enemy's country. I need not say that with this locust like cloud of soldiers living in great measure on the land, in a &strict where places like Veile and Bolding, which in England we should call large villages, are the principal towns, things eatable get dear and very scarce. I hear of persons being put to great shifts for a meal—not for want of money, but because tolerable provisions are often not to be bought at any price. lam told that horseflesh is no un common food with the lower classes in this coun try, and few things would surprise me more than to be furnished with proof that some of the steaks I have lately eaten did not proceed from quadrupeds of that description. Here, in Bold ing, there are much fewer troops than there were, and some left this very morning, but others (Prussians) are expected to-day, if they have not already arrived, and there are a great many officers in the place, which makes it difficult to find quar ters. In campaigning, however, it is a great thing to get shelter, especially at this season, and a rug and cloak upon the ground or on a table may be accepted as a good bed when one has a roof over one's head and, as is here generally the case, a stove to warm the room. In front of Duppel, at the little town of Gravenstein, and in that neighbourhood, we hear that accommodation is much harder to be found, and persons proceeding thither are recom mended to take a carriage to serve them as a sleep ing place in case of need. Three large vessels were lately seen going np in the direction of Aarhuus, to fetch, it is believed, the troops that fought at Veile and after wards retired through Horsens. We are puzzled to conjecture the object of the Danes in taking that route, since there is no apparent reason why they should not have gore into Fredericia as soon as the Germans advanced from Bolding, since they did not propose making any serious stand northwards—which, in deed, they had not the means of doing, outnumbered and overmatched as they were. They have given themselves several long marches, of which one would think they had had plenty before, merely to have a little fight at Veils and to return by sea, in ex tremely bad weather, at Fredericia, and perhaps to Funen. Nobody seems to know what has become of the Danish fleet. None of their men-of-war have for some time been seen. It is thought they may be lying in wait somewhere for the Prussian navy, when that force shall choose to make its appear ance—or at the entrance of the Belt, for the, Austrian ships which have been reported as coming round in this direction. Wherever they are, if it be near to their own coast, they must have had rough work of late, considering the gales that have been blowing over this inclement Cimbrian penin sula, although the natives tell me that those gales, which in most ceueteics would be talked of as tem pests or hurricanes, are notuies compared to what is sometimes witnessed in a land where it is no un common occurrence for houses to be unroofed and even completely overthrown by the fury of the winds. The Austrians have gone northwards, I know not how far; the Prussian headquarters continue here for the present, but it would not surprise me if in a few days they were to be transferred to Graven stein—although what is to become of the people they will there dislodge it is impossible to say. It is understood that the sieges of Duppel and Frede ricia, should they take, place, will be commenced simultaneously. Before, then, however, some time must pass. A good deal of heavy artillery has to be got up. I hear of some having arrived at Flensburg. That far, there is no great difficulty, and the railway has now been opened, at the par ticular urgency of the military authorities, to a place a short distance to the west of Apeniade. But where the railway ceases the labour begins. The roads are very heavy, especially the country roads, and even tae highway begins to suffer from great traffic and want of regular repairs. A friend who has just returned from Flensburg informs me that in some places the meta:ling of the high road is cut completely through. As for minor roads, most of them are full of deep ruts and holes, making the passage of heavy vehicles a matter of great difficulty. Nobody seems inclined to pre dict the probable date of commencement of the two sieges. Some perhaps doubt whether they ever will take place, thinking that if the five great Powers have agreed upon a Conference they will not allow their project to be wrecked on Denmark's refusal. Of those who may thus doubt, some per haps, also hope that the war is virtually at an end, and that there will be no more of this fruitless bloodshed. Of course, military men engaged in a campaign are slow to express such a feeling, and, with a more powerful foe before them, probably none in the Austro Prussian army would for an instant entertain it ; but in a war where the forces on either side are so unequal it is evident that even from the most complete triumph no great glory is to be gained. The taking of Duppel and F/edericia might give opportunity for the display of much valour and of excellent military qualities; in sieges, too, the dis proportion of numerical force in great measure dis appears; but many thousand lives might be sacri ficed before the places were reduced, and for what? That foreigners may pity the pigmy whom the giant has crushed. In an attack on Fredericia—which, of course would necessitate a siege of some duration—a large part of the assailing forces would probably have to camp out, especially if a report which has just reached me, that the Danes aro destroyinghamlets and detached houses in the neighbourhood of the fortress, should prove to be correct. Except at Fre dericia and Duppel, there seems no chance of fur ther fighting in this campaign, unless the Danes should risk a descent on some point of the coast where they may imagine they can obtain an advan tage as partial compensation for their late mishaps. Some of their friends have expressed to me their conviction that they will not allow the campaign to end without some dashing attempt of the kind, but I suspect they will find the Prussians and Aus trians everywhere pretty well upon their guard. For the present there seems no probability of anything of interest occurring up here, and al though the great courtesy and kindness shown me by Marshal Wrangel, General Falkenstein, and the St iff in general render their headquarters a more agreeable residence to me than any other I am likely to find in this part of the world, I think it right to leave them for a short time and to visit Gray..nstein and the neighbourhood of Duppel where I have not yet been. My next despatch, there fore will, I hope s be from the headquarters of Prince Frederick Charles. You have really some strange people in Englane. Mrs. Elizabeth Cottle, with whose eccentric commu nications most public men at home and abroad have The Double Screw at Sea, - The columns of The San have en various oecasicn 3 of late recorded trials of steam veessis fitted with double oe twig screws, trials which hove exci!ed considerable interest from the great importance the principle under trial bore both towards the Royal and mercantile marine, offering as it does a power of mar wavering a vessel when tinder steam each as never could have been attained by the single ecrcw or the paddle. The public importance of the pria cipal has been fully acknowledged, indeed, by i;s partial adoption by the Admiralty, and the tesii tunny given to its merits in the House of Commons by Lord Clarence Paget, Sir Jas. Elphinstone, end others. These trials have hitherto taken place on the comparatively smooth waters of the Thames, but on Wednesday and Thursday, the 16ih and 17th inst., the twin screws reached their as yet culminating point of success in the trial trip of the Atalanta from London to Calais, and thence in a race between that port and Dover with one of the fastest boats of • the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. The Atalanta is an iron vessel, built by Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon, of Cubitt town-yard, Millwall ; is 500 tons burden, 200 feet long, 24 feet in breadth, 14 feet in depth, and is driven by two screws, with independent engines, the collective power being 200 horse. She is a smart, clipper-looking craft, possessing at the same time large carrying powers. On Wednesday she left Gravesend at 15 minutes past twelve, in charge of Mr. Leigh, Trinity Pilot, the wind being fresh from E.S.E., and the young flood tide coming up against her. The steam was up for the first time, and it was, therefore, not intended to make any official trial of her speed be tween the Thames and Calais, the port to which she was first bound, but in passing the measured mile in Long Reach she was found to be going 14 . 138 knots, which certainly appeared to confirm the assertion of her builders that she would prove to be, for her tonnage and horse power, the fastest screw vessel afloat. The Nero lightship was passed at 21 minutes past 1, the greater part of the time the port engine only having been at work, owing to some adjustment being required to the starboard crank bearings, but even under these disadvan tageous circumstances the distance, 221 miles, was made in 75 minutes. The wind was now freshen ing, but the water was smooth and the weather clear as the vessel kept on her course through the Oaze Deeps and the Alexandra Channel, the engines making 120 revolutions without a rattle, and doing their work magnifi cently. At 4.30 p.m. the bold outline of the South Foreland was merged in the general dark outline of the English coast under the Atalanta's lee, while the white cliffs of France west of Calais were rising rapidly above the line of waters ahead. At 6 p.m. the Atalanta was in her berth alongside the pier at Calais, just ahead of the paddle mail packet Vivid, with which she was to try her strength across the Channel on the following day. The distance be tween the Downs and Calais could have been ace complished in considerably less time, quick as it really was, but for the vessel having been kept on a mid-channel course between Dover and Calais for some 10 miles, thus deviating from her direct course for the latter place. On Tnursday the Atalanta crossed over from Calais to Dover, so as to steam back from the latter to the former place in company with the Vivid, which was appointed to leave with the mail from Dover at 9 30. At 45 minutes past 9 the Vivid came out, and the Atalanta having been placed in position as nearly as possible abreast of her, the race across commenced. From the time of starting the result was never for a moment in doubt. The Vivid, pitching her bows into the sea as she got clear of the land, was evidently making hard work of it, and fast dropping astern of the Atalanta, which, without throwing a drop of spray over her deck, was making her way in splendid style, and isepree;ne• her positing with ever; fresh puff of .wind and roll of the sea. As the French land was neared the wind freshened, and as it so freshened and the sea rose the better the Atalanta behaved. Calais was reached in 77 minutes by the Atalante, but the Vivid was 107 minutes--half an hour behind the double screw. The success was of so decided a character that it was considered un necessary to test the speed of the boat any fur ther, and a return course was therefore shaped for the Thames, where she arrived at 5 p.m., and where she will complete her outfit for the service for which she has been built. In crossing the Channel the action of the screw on each quarter was beautifully distinct through the deep, blue clearness of the water, and it was surprising to notice with what smooth solidity and entire absence of water disturbance of any kind they worked. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, March 17. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) George Costin, 22, labourer, and Ambrose Lee, 30, described as a mariner, but who is better known as " Gipsy Lee," were charged upon an indictment, and also by a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful mur der of John James Hill. The prisoners were also eharged with robbing the same person, and with using personal violence to him at the time of the commission of the robbery. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Mersham conducted the prosecutinn ; Mr. Ribton defended Costin, and Lee was undefended, but at the request of the Court Mr. Sharp watched the case on his behalf. Although these prisoners were charged with the serious crime of wilful murder, the case was in reality merely one of highway robbery, and it was only by a construction of law that they became amenable to the more serious charge. The Chief Baron having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the charge of murder. The prisoners then pleaded Guilty to the charge of robbery, accompanied by violence, and sentence was deferred. The cases disposed of on the Civil Side have been of the most uninteresting character. Out of the five special jury cases one was withdrawn; two, which were cross actions, were referred ; and the other two did not present any features of intertst to the public. The following arrangements have been made with reference to the approaching Surrey Assizes, which commence on the 28th inst. :—Causes can be entered provisionally at the office of the Clerk of Assize in London, from Monday, March 21, t o M onday, the 28th inclusive, between ten and t wo o ' clock, entered and put on the l i st order they are entered provi sionally, before causes entered a t Ki ngston. No l e ( y in w g i s l t l on be formally inthe cause will be entered at Kingston on Monday, March 28. In case any record entered in London be withdrawn in London before two o'clock on March 28, the entry fee will be returned. The entry of causes at Kingston will commence on Tuesday, March 29 at nine a.m., and will close at noon. Business in both courts will commence at noon. A list of causes for trial each day will be sent to Lon. don on the evening of the previous day, and will be affixed outside the porter's lodge, Sergeant's-inn, Chancery lane, and also at the office of the Under- Sheriff, 8, New-inn, Strand. The first day's list will not extend beyond No. 20 iu the list of causes provisionally entered should there be so many. The list of causes provisionally en ered may be seen at the London office of the clerk of the assize. This arrangement may not apply to future assizes.
